I was just starting to regret I've never had one. And I have had a couple kinds of flu or winter sickness over the years. Then I remember I nearly died from pneumonia when I was 9, could have started with the flu. But there weren't any shots or anti-virus meds, and I didn't want to tell my mother I was sick because I hated it when she'd get so worried. Penicillin shots weren't working, and I've always believed it was the round-the-clock streptomycin (new drug) shots that saved my life, was hospitalized.

My uncle died from it in the epidemic of 1918.

Now I don't want to go where there a lot of people and seriously thinking about wearing a mask if I have to go to hospital, dr. Have an older one, what could I line it with for a little extra protection, if anything?

Her doctor told her that even if the shot wasn't for the most virulent strain, if you did get another strain, you weren't likely to get as sick.

And my other daughter very sick, was in the ER yesterday, very worried about her. She didn't get the shot either.
